softening up your rear springs, swaybar, lower rebound, change tire pressures, etc etc. There are so many things I would like to try, but never get enough test time to be bold enough to make radical changes.

Great topic of discussion.

I can't adjust brake bias in this class so, but the others I considered. sway bars, rebound, rear alignment. I knew it was not a tire pressure thing as I have been running the same pressure in RA-1 for many years and they work. Also the coform to others in the class.

So I did try a number of things, but never the front bar for fear of making it worse elsewhere.

The other thing to consider is that sometimes a change works only when some other part of the car is set a certain way. Long ago I raised the front end, took out some camber and put in new shocks all around. I think that be came the root of my issues as all that was supposed to help, but I had take most of that out over the years. However taking it out gets complicated when you change that much. I may have gotten lost in the settings. Good news is now I am back to where I need to be and will not fear making a change as long as it is something I can test and dail out if needed. Too many changes at one can be a problem.
